Why not tax these people who are outbidding local Vermonters on home sales and driving up the prices of housing, taking up all available rentals, good paying jobs, and bringing more vehicles and thereby emissions into the state?	-

In order to meet our requirements under the Global Warming Solutions Act, we must substantially decrease emissions in this sector. One area where the TCI-P could be stronger is its emphasis on equity. Governor Scott please Support an Equitable TCI-P	-

Not in 2050. Invest in these changes now and our state will be among leading states in renewable energy technology and legislation. This is needed. Jobs in renewable energy will replace the ones that everyone is scared of losing in the fossil fuel industry. We need to make this shift soon so we are not behind, for jobs and economic reasons as well as for the health of the environment in Vermont and our planet. Thank you for your considerations, Caitlin	-

Scott to sign on to the TCI-P initiative. It is critical we provide momentum to this key effort not just to save the planet, but because it will invigorate our economy in the short term as well. I also hope Vermont will join the effort to address disparities by setting aside significant revenue to balance inequities in impact.	-

With such a rural state, we need to get creative with how we can reduce our impact while transporting ourselves from location to location. TCI-P heavily supports this idea, and would be great to see it get passed.	-

In addition, resources should be allocated in a way that achieves other benefits, too, such as improving air quality in the communities with the worst air now, typically low-income and minority communities, and saving overall healthcare costs for low-income communities, and potentially reducing public health costs as well.	-

It will impact lower income and minority citizens much more negatively than anyone else. Stop this plan. Virginia at least must avoid this insanity!!	-

Yes, the heating of the planet will rise exponentially in the near future, but we have to do what we can now to mitigate and adapt to the assault on the earth's environment and peoples. We also must prepare for a different future for our children and grandchildren then we have lived. GHG's are 40% of the problem and are best dealt with now in a vigorous way. We have waited too long to deal with fossil fuels and programs like TCI are part of the first steps for taking the challenge to mitigate the consequences of our industrial age. And Remember we also have to treat our forests and soils differently. It will take more time to increase the health and sequestration of our working and natural lands, but we need to start now. You followed the science well for the pandemic and the science will be a good guide for Climate Change. Sincerely yours, Carl Bayer	-
